Interactive Word wall

*I had to Identify the key vocabulary words that the students need to know for a specific topic or reading assignment.
*Print the words in large block letters on cards for posting on a prominent (always visible) wall or bulletin board.
*Post the word cards as the terms are confronted in classroom discussion or reading.
*Regularly review the terms on the Word Wall. Have students read them aloud as a "warm up" exercise. Frequently call on students to "refresh" their classmates' memories of the definitions of these words. Reinforce these vocabulary words by including them in learning games and activities
